Harm reduction my ass. This is overt complicity in using starvation, famine, genocide, colective punishment, siege warfare as a means of WALL STREET FASCIST domination over the world. Don't forget who owns these fuckers. It isn't "the Jews". It is straight up racist fascists. May they all get Nuremberged.
2025 nice little nod to Project 2025 you Democrat party gaslighters. "Harm reduction".
criminal. and not just the us but other governments who are toying with the same idea.
- Joe Biden is a war criminal and abuser of human rights who should be hung from a streetlight.
  Instead, probably inside of a decade, he's going to get some state funeral and every news anchor is going to cry about what a decent soul he was, and how he tried to do good things.
  I hate this shithole.
- I think everyone one else restored funding?
  Most of the governments who cut funding in the first place did, the main exceptions are the US and Germany. But both were among the largest contributors before, so this will probably have some serious impact.
  
  Most western governments are more concerned with clearing out Gaza so that they can get those precious gas deposits.
I'd like to know how - in real terms, not grandstanding and rhetoric - Trump would be any worse for the Palestinians. Like, the only thing the US isn't doing to promote the genocide is to put actual US troops on the ground; and I really don't see even Trump doing that.
When the Consoler-in-Chief gets downright excited about famine in Gaza...
- Motherfucker looks like a dick Tracy villain
stalin shouldn't have stopped at berlin
Truly monstrous
Listened to a recent Chapo where they interviewed a Palestinian-American activist: They said UNRWA aid was critical to the well-being and livlihoods of Palestinians.
Basically the only reason to stop funding is you unambiguously want people to die.
Apparently it also limits aid to the Palestinian Authority if
“the Palestinians initiate an International Criminal Court (ICC) judicially authorized investigation, or actively supports such an investigation, that subjects Israeli nationals to an investigation for alleged crimes against Palestinians.”

- Ah, this must be the "international rule of law" I've heard so much about
until October
god fucking dammit this is going to ruin my October natl park plans, there's no way they'll fund the government before the election
- Our government is a joke
- Just in time for an October suprise!
- So, my family really supported States' rights and, yadda yadda yadda, we're really wealthy now.
